    If I’m the kings just shove the bucks into the shooters, that’s legal

    So this was not called a flagrant? Just want to confirm since Quickley clipped a guy with an elbow and it was called one.

    The biggest issue in the NBA is that nobody knows what’s a fucking foul anymore. There’s varying rules if you’re a star, if you’re a post player, if you’re a rookie, if you play in big markets. It’s making it unwatchable. Sort it out Silver.

    they need to start making that high gather an automatic turnover when youre right in a defenders face like that, like how soccer has a dangerous play rule. putting your elbows right in a defenders face to clear space is such a loophole. You make the defender either take an elbow to the head or its probably going to be a foul on them.

    Why is the sound on this clip at like 0.001%?

  8. I don’t see how the players association doesn’t push for a rule about fingernail length. It has to benefit more players than it effectively polices.

    that straight up looks painful, dudes be losing teeth over a game of ball

    lol that’s a travel, you cannot eurostep to your right using your left foot 😂 that’s physically impossible… cause when you plant your rught foot you cross legged yourself and you ain’t getting much space 🤣 and some dudes be swinging them elbows… ouch. How do you defend that

    Giannis has been getting the friendliest bully ball whistle for years now. Defenders dont have a right to exist around him. Dude should be getting ejected constantly. He’s going to knock someone unconscious soon.

  12. The NBA has no idea what the rules are. Quickley gets called for this a flagrant on this exact move but here Giannis doesn’t? I don’t give a fuck what people tell me. I’m going to believe that the rules are different for different teams until they prove me otherwise because this is just ridiculous at this point

    Giannis does this move all the time and puts his fellow players at great risk of injury. It is extremely selfish and use of the elbow swing through to the face move needs to be an instant ejection. Get this rubbish out of the game.
